MIDDLETOWN -- City siblings have been charged after reportedly hitting each other over a laptop, police report.

Paige Landry, 19, 192 Hawks Nest Cir, was issued a summons for disorderly conduct on Aug. 13. She was in court on Aug. 14 and Judge James Abrams issued a protective order. She is due back in court on Sept. 21, and was ordered to comply with family relations. The other involved person is a juvenile who was charged with third-degree assault. He was issued a juvenile summons and is due in juvenile court Aug. 22.

According to police reports, officers were called to the home on Hawks Nest Circle for a report of a physical fight between Landry and her brother. Reportedly, the juvenile wanted to use the laptop Landry was using, and she did not immediately give it to him. The juvenile allegedly became upset and tried to take the laptop away from Landry, who turned away. When the juvenile reportedly reached over her shoulder to get the laptop, Landry turned around and struck him in the face. Police reported seeing a red mark on his face. The juvenile then became "extremely angry" and punched her in the face, police reported. Police reported seeing red bruising under Landry's eye. Both declined medical attention. After speaking with a witness, who reported seeing the juvenile hit Landry in the face with a closed hand, police issued the summons to Landry and the juvenile.
